Second annual event connects manufacturers, subcontractors, design houses and suppliers
Arrow Finland is celebrating the success of its second annual 'Global Village' electronics industry event. The event, which took place at the Helsinki Fair Centre, brought together many of Arrow's customers and suppliers and was attended by Arrow's European and Nordic management teams as well as a number of the company's technical specialists.
Customers attending the Global Village had the opportunity to meet Arrow, its suppliers and a variety of design and manufacturing companies. Suppliers who exhibited at the event formed a representative sample of Arrow's full list of franchises. The formal proceedings were followed by an evening of entertainment, including a live band.
Veikko Sohlman, the general manager of Arrow Finland comments: "This event has quickly established itself as an important day in the electronic industry calendar in Finland. Global Village provides a perfect forum for networking, allowing customers to quickly and easily meet with Arrow, our suppliers, a variety of engineering companies and subcontractors and, of course, each other."
He adds: "This event shows that Arrow is about much more than simply supplying product and support services. Our position in the industry allows us to act as the 'glue' between many different companies, and Global Village provides a forum to bring these organisations together. We look forward to many more Global Village successes in the years to come."
